Sure they did. They went looking for evidence to support their assumptions and found it.

That is a barefaced, shameful lie, and I don't care what the mods think about it. The early geologists were devout Christians looking for evidence of the flood. You are a disgrace to your religion and should stop before you convince everyone that Christians are ignorant, lying scum.

There is no shame in looking for evidence to support one's assumptions and then finding it. Had these people whom you are convinced to have been "devout Christians" maintained that there was indeed a global flood, you would simply place them on the side of people like myself who supposedly represent a "disgrace to my religion." Why not try holding back on the vitriol and understanding that there is more than one way scientifically to comprehend reality?
